[edit] Height is wrong

Hi, I think the height of Baggio in his profile is wrong. The two height measurements don't add up. Please correct. Ondog 07:22, 23 May 2006 (UTC) The correct Roberto Baggio's height is 174 cm (5'8 1/2): now it's ok.--Swirlan (talk) 16:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Objectivity

This is DEFINITELY not an objective piece. I would fix it myself, but knowing very little about Baggio the player, I opt not to so as not to incorrectly reference anything. It definitely needs a scouring though as there is A LOT of POV. empty_jester

[edit] Baggio pic

I'm sorry, but I can't stand the current image of Baggio on this page. It seems to say "I love the 1990's" :-) But seriously, can someone get a better image, like one of him wearing a jersey or something? ChaChaFut 03:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Numerous factual errors. Lippi was not the manager at Inter until Baggio's second season there. THere was no conflict of paying time between Baggio and Ronaldo (Ronaldo was injured the majority of the time Baggio was there). Lippi preferred to sit Baggio for Alvaro Recoba or utility midfielders.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.112.236.127 (talk • contribs) 17:38, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

use the one on the italian page —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.153.42.181 (talk • contribs) 03:50, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

That image, it:Immagine:Roberto_Baggio_Usa_94.jpg, has no source or licensing info and is likely to be deleted. --Muchness 07:00, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] nickname

Hi, I'm Giovanni. I have te make a small correction: the italian nickname of Roberto Baggio was "Il Divin Codino", without the o in "divino" Giovanni—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.220.190.213 (talk • contribs) 15:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure that isn't just in your dialect? Divino is correct in Italian...—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.26.2.12 (talk • contribs) 17:05, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it's Italian and not dialect, just poetic let's say! It was used in the whole Italy! --Lanerossi 23:07, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Baggio 1998 world cup

its factually wrong to say he played for 90 minutes. he came on late in the game to replace del piero and in minutes, he had manufactured the equaliser through a hand ball penalty. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.82.210.66 (talk • contribs) 22:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Inter Milan Edit & Ref

Updated the Appearances and goals while his time at Inter Milan, it appereared to be incorrect; Baggio scored 11 Serie A goals for the Nerazzurri and not '9' as what was mentioned. Quote the reference from Inter Archive below; Link.

[edit] ????

Editors have so far been unable to locate an image that meets Wikipedia's image use policy. --Muchness 02:54, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes

who is deleting the Baggio quotes? there is nothing wrong with them, stop removing them —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 219.74.108.245 (talk) 01:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

I am deleting them, as I have told you multiple times. They are unsourced and there are far too many of them. You have been warned about this multiple times. Please do not end up being blocked by reinserting them. Gwernol 01:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boca Juniors

He's a fan of Boca. His wife said "Roberto no sigue el fútbol de Italia; no le interesan ni Juventus, ni Milan ni Inter; mantiene interés por un solo equipo: Boca Juniors. Roberto sigue al club más importante de la Argentina. Es una pasión que le nació de sus visitas al país de Maradona y de Riquelme. Allí el fútbol es pasión y espectáculo". http://ellitoral.com/index.php/diarios/2007/06/12/deportes/DEPO-12.html http://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Primo_Piano/2007/06_Giugno/12/baggino.shtml (La Gazzetta dello Sport)

Trivia?

[edit] Individual honours

"Fourth soccer player always (to the shoulders of Pelè, Maradona and Eusebio) second a promoted world-wide survey from the FIFA via Internet". This sentence makes no sense. Anyone know what it means? 86.42.216.79 11:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moving to Inter

it says "After the 1998 World Cup, Baggio signed with Inter Milan. This proved to be an unfortunate move, as the then coach Marcello Lippi did not favour Baggio and hardly played him"

Lippi was not coach of Inter in 1998 though, Simone was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ucl1986 (talk • contribs) 02:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
